I got a file and filed it down- much quicker then sanding it...
I also trimmed the hotgrips down a little where the weights go, abuot 3 or 4 mm of rubber before the large ring around the grip. (ill get a photo of this if you dont get what i mean...)

As for wiring, if you look in your fuse box, there is a thick Orange wire going to what is the middle of three "holes". I connected my hotgrips to one of the two empty ones. These are connected though the ignition- only on when the bike is on. On the other hand if you are wiring to the lights you want the SIDE LIGHTS not the brake lights! Not sure how this would work with the rear lights as they are just a row of LED's which prob draw less then the hotgrips would...
